CAMDEN — A sixth defendant has pleaded guilty in connection with the February 2010 killing of a Burlington County man in city, Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk announced Friday.

Lance Fulton, 21, of Camden, pleaded guilty Thursday to aggravated manslaughter, admitting his part in the death of 23-year-old Michael Hawkins of Mount Holly.

Fulton admitted before Superior Court Judge Irvin Snyder that on Feb. 23 last year he kicked and punched Hawkins during an assault at a home on the 500 block of Berkley Street.

He also said he held Hawkins down while others assaulted him. The victim was also shot and stabbed during the attack.

Fulton is one of ten people charged in connection with killing him and Muriah Huff, an 18-year-old Cinnaminson woman who had come to the home with Hawkins.

She was killed allegedly because she could have given authorities information on Hawkins’ killing.

Fulton told the court that the group charged by authorities believed Hawkins had stolen some liquor from the home of one defendant several days prior to the attack.

Fulton was not charged in connection with Huff’s death. Five of the ten people charged in the incident - Kuasheim Powell, Shatara Carter, Shaniqua Pierre, Darryl Pierre and David Hardwick - have been sentenced.

Fulton is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 9 before Judge Snyder. Authorities say he’s expected to be sentenced to 25 years imprisonment, 85 percent of which must be served before he’s eligible for parole.
